So cool family photos, there are a few tips for his photo technique
1. Camera position not too close to the subject
Because if too close, then we'll have to zoom out or use a lens that is too wide because if too wide, then shape the face of people who are on the edge will distortion / change form. If places allow, try to use the minimal focal lens 30-50mm.
2. Set in a group of people so close together
The goal that the composition is better and there are no gaps between people. It is also useful to help the equitable distribution of light when using flash. But watch out when it gets too close, there is the potential that there are people in shadow.
3. the composition triangle
Composition of family photos is one important factor that makes the picture look better. One which I think is a solid composition, are the triangle. The way we manage people, putting the highest in the middle and the shortest in the margins.
4. Balancing ambient light with flash
When in the room is somewhat dark, and we had to use flash, do not forget to balance the flash light to the room. If not balanced, the background will be too dark and the atmosphere will be lost. The trick is not difficult, with slow shutter speed can be recorded so that the light environment. When using a relatively slow shutter speed, do not forget to hold the camera steady or use a buffer such as a tripod.
5. Wear reflective techniques
When using an external flash that can be played head, you probably can use the reflection technique. If the ceiling is white and not too high, we can reflect light so that light falling gently to the subject of the picture.
6. Separating the flash with the camera
Better yet, if we could separate the flash with the camera. By separating the flash with the camera, we can direct the light so that the face is dimensionless. If we feel the light that falls too hard, we can use photography umbrella.
8. Outside the room, looking for shade
When we are outdoors, do not forget to look for a shady spot for everyone, so the fall of light onto the face of every person equal / not mottled. Also make sure no direct sunlight shining on the face because it can be blinding. When the light behind the sun, we often need additional assistance so that the light from the flash image is not a dark subject.
9. At the dinner table or restaurant
When our group photo in the restaurant. Avoid taking photos of the end of the table, because the faces of people who will look great once near and far will be small. When we use the flash, it is becoming more problematic as the face of someone close will be very bright and much of the dark. In such cases, better use of the long table so that the distance between the camera and everyone pretty much the same.
